piss off

Get out, crudely

Piss off has two main uses.

As a phrasal verb, it means to anger or annoy: His attitude really pisses me off.

As an imperative, particularly in British English, it's a vulgar way to tell someone to go away: Oh, piss off and leave me alone.

The latter is roughly equivalent to fuck off but slightly milder.
